NaijaAgroNet:
The Emirates Airlines has
won the Saveur Magazine’s Culinary Travel Award for Best In-Flight Dining:
First Class & Business Class for the second consecutive year, reports NaijaAgroNet.
Saveur, an
American-based, globally recognised culinary-travel magazine, asked an
expert panel of world travellers and readers to identify the world's best
cities, markets, restaurants, bars, hotels, airlines and other experiences. The
panel cited Emirates’ seven-course meals served on Royal Doulton fine bone
china, extensive range of vintage wines, and healthy fare as factors that set
it apart from other entrants.
Terry Daly, Divisional
Senior Vice President, Service Delivery said in a press statement made
available to NaijaAgroNet that Saveur is one of the most influential and respected voices
in the culinary world.
“Being recognised by a
publication of Saveur’s calibre carries special weight and validates the
attention to detail we put into our in-flight food and beverage programme. The
quality of our cuisine reflects Emirates’ commitment to providing our
passengers with the world’s best flying experience,” Daly said.
Emirates’ regionally
inspired dishes are prepared by five-star chefs, who customise each in-flight
menu to reflect the culinary tastes of specific routes and destinations.
Travellers can experience a different menu with each Emirates trip – from
Japanese gastronomy served in specially designed crockery, to authentic Indian
regional favourites.
NaijaAgroNet also gathered that Saveur panel
recognised Emirates’ Onboard Lounge – available to First Class and Business
Class passengers on A380 flights – as another key service element that helped
the airline earn top honours. The Onboard Lounge provides a place for
passengers to stretch their legs, network over fine wines and cocktails, and
enjoy hors d'oeuvres and delicacies at 40,000 feet.
"As inveterate
travellers, diners, and cooks, the editors, contributors and readers
of Saveur seek out the very best culinary destinations the world
over," said Betsy Andrews, Executive Editor of Saveur. "This
year's Culinary Travel Award winners excite and inspire us with their
commitment to excellent food, drink, service and experiences. We are so thrilled
to have such exciting and delicious options when planning our latest
food-filled journeys."+Remmy Nweke (ITRealms) +Emirates @DigitalSENSEng @NaijaAgroNet @Nkemdilim Nweke
